1. Padaek

    Laotian Thai

    Padaek is the homestyle Laotian spot that helped put the cuisine on the map in DC, which is a real thing that happened and you should take advantage of. Expect punchy lime salads, fragrant soups, and banana-leaf-wrapped fish, the kind of cooking that tastes like someone's mom made it but with serious skill behind it. The crowd knows what they're doing and so does the kitchen.
